I was also rejected for an internal role recently (despite being recommended by the person who previously held the role), so I feel for you.

I was also rejected for an internal role recently (despite being recommended by the person who previously held the role), so I feel for you. I think it's fine to—and in fact, you should—ask for feedback (which is another subtle way of expressing your interest in the role/growing), but I wouldn't push. Ultimately, they know where to find you if they want you—but ultimately, they've made their decision.,
